In this modern era, this is how these holy mythological books are
treated by some cool (or rather say, pseudo-cool) Indian youngsters. In this painting, this book is treated as some trash, used as a support while burning mosquito coils. I have seen
some similar kinda scenarios in reality, so this is happening !
And we have
to face the reality, right? That's what my motive is, i.e. to give a message to the new generation
through this piece; this is not what these books are meant for. These
holy books are a treasure house of knowledge.I
am a bit more inclined to give an Indian touch to my paintings, being
an Indian and that is the only reason I have taken the holy Gita as a
subject in my painting. No disrespect or intention to hurt any
religion/community.

About Me

November 04, 1989 – Born in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
2007-2011 - Studied B. Tech at Chemical Engineering at C. V. Raman College of Engineering, BPUT.
I am a young, self-taught artist(An artist Or rather, in the process of becoming one, as I am still learning the finer aspects of artistry) from India. Since childhood, i have a keen interest in painting, especially watercolors. .During school days, i managed to win four gold medals and one silver medal as well as many others. Though trained as a chemical engineer, my born urge made me take up painting with zest once again.
I like to portray my subjects as they are. Speaking of subjects ,I prefer my subjects to be different, far removed from the daily monotonous regularity of life. For example, the devotee at eh ashram, the bonda tribeswoman..and yes, being an Indian, I am a bit more inclined to portray the spectacle, the wonder that is my country, my land , on my paper as much as possible.
I consider myself as a beginner, a newbie, a student. And as being a student, curiosity comes naturally to me,and it is this curiosity that drives me, motivates me to paint ,to put my ideas, my perspective of the world around me into the paper.
